Hi All, I'm trying to run some of the demos included in the Java 2 download. They all give the same error message. I've tried running both the jar file and I've also compile them myself and tried running the class file. The error message is given below and the actual program is given further down. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Howard triazo@linux:~/java > java SimpleExample Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] current locale is not supported in X11, locale is set to Cjava: ../../../../../src/solaris/hpi/green_threads/src/dl-malloc.c:1214: do_check_chunk: Assertion `(char*)p + sz <= (char*)(((mbinptr)(&(av_[2 * (0)])))->fd)' failed.
